we are in the procees of applying for a permis a constuire ready to submit everything but need a devis for a eco flo system installation

we have already had a devis but the company although well meaning im sure want almost 4k up front before they will process the dossier this is now holding everything up we dont mind paying a sensible deposit but we havent even had a permis acceped yet if any one knows or is interested in doing us one please contact us on 00441904848601 or email cheers paul

It doesn't matter what it costs it has to be approved by spanc,I didn't really want a sand bed but it was only option,some people have found that they have a property where they can't get approval for any type of fosse.

Any system you install has to be approved by SPANC-basically they or an approved company will do a soil test and an étude then THEY TELL YOU what sort of fosse the size etc is suitable for your ground conditions the size of your house etc;the fosse should then be installed by a reputable company and it must be passed by a SPANC inspector.YOu will then get a certificate of conformity from your Marie.If you have not had the preliminay inspection work and the type of fosse you propose to install approved then you are heading into big problems.DO NOT PAY OR SIGN ANYTHING UNTIL YOU KNOW THAT SPANC HAS APPROVED IT FOR YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION

As I said earlier we went to Spanc,they are the people that know and in my case very helpful,certainly don't pay for a devis or a deposit,until you have had your p/p granted and then get 3 or 4 prices for the system that has been agreed.sabc15.

There may well be tears, if you pay up front!

Don't do it - you are in a foreign country. Would you do this in the UK?

The answer is talk with SPANC. They not only arrange the soil test but they will also support the application of a particular type of fosse.

IDepending where you are also talk to the contractors - they are very knowledgeable. I too was tempted by the Ecoflo solution. In the end we went for the standard solution as advised by SPANC. For a 4 double bed house with some other ground works it came in at under €7000 and was installed 2 months ago. The soil test, was €177 hope that helps.

Ours was the replacement of an old fosse. The certificate d'urbanisation on our other development did not depend on the fosse at all. though we are now engaging SPANC for that fosse system.

Hi. we have a p/p in at the moment,but didn't even have to have a soil test,we contacted Spanc and as they were familiar with the area just made their recommendation, until we have the p/p we will not be approaching companies for prices.sabc15.

Mine had to be sand filter because land was heavy clay,whatever system you intend to use it has to be approved as part of the planning application.
